Sam
van Musschenbroek was only 26 when he was killed. He was an active
member of the resistance in ww2 and was part of the group that
on 27 March 1943 set the Amsterdam register of inhabitants on
fire. Based on this register the Germans could easily identify
Jewish inhabitants. The group was betrayed and rounded up within
two weeks after the attack. Most of the members including
Sam - were sentenced to death and fusilladed in the early morning
of 1 July 1443 in the Dunes of Overveen.

following story gives not only a overview of his life, but also

Tout
ce qui mest passé était nécessaire
et bien la peine
